Every function of your body is controlled by your central nervous system, and this function can be disrupted by misalignments in your spine.  These are called subluxations.  A subluxation creates interference in the function of your spinal nerves, and this can result in impaired functioning of your organs and endocrine system. While it’s true that chiropractic is far better than medical care for such problems, our job at AmeriCare Pain & Rehab is to help you improve your overall health and wellness especially in the case of an auto accident injury. Chiropractic was first developed in the 1890s, and it works by restoring the normal and healthy functioning of your central nervous system  by adjusting the spine. The term “chiropractic” originates with the Greek words “chiro” and “praktikos,” which mean “hand” and “practice.” Your Houston, TX chiropractor  helps you by using natural, hands-on care that doesn’t involve risky drugs or surgery.
